Steve McCurry - Retrospective


I really admire this American photographers work. I have a book of his portraits that I never tire lokking at. Friend told me he's exibiting in Birmingham from June to October.

Surely I can find a couple of days in that 4 month space to visit and see.

Re: Steve McCurry - Retrospective


When I was studying in London I used to love roaming the galleries to look at all the photography work. Sometimes I regret not following that route as my step-daugther has done (graduating later this year)!!

I will look up his work as he's not a name I'm familiar with . . . is it mainly portraiture as per your book and the example on the weblink?

Re: Steve McCurry - Retrospective


Mainly portrait - but very rarely posed. He is a photo journalist so a lot of his work is in areas of conflict etc. He has done a few landscapes etc but even these tend to have people as a focus. I think it is just his ability to catch the human spirit - good and bad that I admire.

This is his website. It is quite slow - be patient, it's worth it (IMO)
